How come, when George W. Bush was president and a barrel of oil was almost $140 and a gallon of gasoline was close to $4 it was his fault, along with his oil buddies, and he was ripped apart for it.
But with oil at $90 a barrel and gasoline at almost $4 a gallon, now, all of sudden President Obama has no control over it and should not be held accountable?
That is so hypocritical and shows that some people are so partisan. I don't hear any outcry from the media or the left to hold anyone responsible.
So why does everything cost so much? Simply because if it costs more to transport, then it will cost more to buy.

...he wasn't responsible, either. Presidents hardly ever have anything to do with the price of oil.

So, Bush was responsible for his gas prices because he had friends in the oil business, but POTUS had questionable friends in Chicago who had nothing to do with oil, so that makes BHO blameless of any gas prices during his administration. Nice.
Guilt by selective association; innocence by selective association. Nicer.

Yeah, but on the drunkest day of his life, he knew there weren't 57 states and he also knew that a corpsman was not a corpseman.

Welcome to partisans politics. This president, more than any other president I've seen in my adult life, cannot or will not take responsibility. Haven't you noticed this administration as excuses for everything, even Obama's poor performance in the first presidential debate with Romney.
I don't know about you or other readers, I'm sure tired of excuses.

I'de rather have Obama show up at a debate and not take responsibility for his poor performance......
Than have Romney and his sons not show up at any Military Recruiting Offices and have his apologists cover their sorry asses for it. (Especially since Romney protested "Anti-Draft Protestors" at Stanford back in '66)

The fact that you have to go back to 1966, Romney’s youth, to find something to criticize him about speaks volume of his character.
With Obama or Biden, I just have to go back a week or two to find something to criticize.
Ronald Riml, do you have any contemporary and relevant examples that you want to present?

How much time did "citizen" obama spend in the U.S. Military? That saw about Romney's five sons not having done military time has lost most of its teeth. We get it. Oh, how much time did Slick Willie spend in the U.S. military?

Romney's the one talking big.
But he ain't shit. Unless it's with other folk's kids and other folk's money......
And that Chicken-Hawk Express 'Saw' is still sharp as ever.......

Being a draft dodger is ok as long as one is a democrat and a chicken hawk? If we were as aggressively anti-obama as you are anti-Romney, we'd be called racists, wouldn't we?

Criticizing Romney is one thing, but criticizing his sons, that I don’t understand.
Why does Ronald extend his anger to his children?
What would people call you if you attack Obama’s daughters as vehemently as Ronald attacks Romney’s sons?

That is an excellent point, but there is one thing you must remember, Mark. democrats/liberals can say anything they want to whom and about anyone they wish. It is republicans/conservatives who must watch what they say or risk being called racist, bigot, homophobe, or mean spirited.

Clinton – Serbia, genocide
Obama – Afghanistan, killing Americans with drones.
Romney – So called chicken-Hawk according to Ronald Riml.
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things don’t belong.
Ronald, make sure you check under you bed tonight – there may be a Romney chicken-hawk next to the boogieman.
Let's deal with what is, not your fears.
